Ahh I'm really feeling the pain of being at the end of the line when it comes to picks the last round really hurt

For pick 12 I will go for a personal favourite of mine and no it's not Neville Madziva :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pick 12 Sean Ervine, only got a small glimpse of what he was capable of for Zimbabwe, IMO the biggest loss from the Rebel Saga without doubt

Pick 13 Was tough but much the Keeper batsman issue; there are not many quality spinners to pick from, the 3 standouts obviously being Paul Strang, Ray Price and Graeme Cremer. You could look at Utseya for the amount of wickets but his average was awful and he was no doubt a cheat and rat.

It was hard to choose but considering his overall career figures of 211 wickets at 32.5 the most wickets, best average and best strike rate of the four I had to go with Alexander Graeme Cremer with Pick 13

Well, yeah, that is an important pick, Sean. I had him in my plans. I remember one of your early display pictures was that of Sean.

So, I feel I'm desperately running out of options (or my targets will be picked up before it is my turn again). Not something that will help in keeping the spirits up. Should have avoided being part of this draft :)

Yes sadly the good talent goes quick, I had looked at one point to trade my 5th overall pick to Kriterion for his 9th & 16th pick, but I realised I'd be left missing too many good players by then

David Houghton has 2 international stumpings against his name :) He was a specialist wicket keeper for a decent amount of time before he gave up the gloves as Andy Flower came along...

How was the draft order selected? At random or did BRMT just decide? Either way, I'm not complaining haha.

I just had back to back picks, so I shouldn't be picking again for a while.

Ahh yes I see well played well played

Kriterion now in the position where could potentially leave Taibu for a later, unless someone snaps him up and leaves Kriterion with Regis lol

Interesting indeed
